I was getting really frustrated with a guy Iwas working with. We'd set up our ‘own web design business and Giles ~ that was the name of my business partner — would always get lost in little details and take ages making a first design to show the customer. And my dad said, ‘Look, you can't change other people; you can only change the way you behave towards them.’ So I accepted that was just Giles’s way ~ that he loved the little details ~ and I tried to think of itas a positive thing and we've got on so much better ever since, and worked much more effectively. So that’s become 4 sort of guiding principle for me in life ~ not to try to change others ~ and Ihave to say, it’s stood me in very good stead, Speaker 2 Here's a good rule of thumb: ‘Don’t come to blows over small things’ But its alot easier said than done. The umber of times I've sent off an angry email without thinking about the consequences, or got upset because something wasn’t done the way I wanted it to be done, you'd think I'd have learned my lesson.

They should also decide which factor he feels is most important. Students can check their answers with a partner. Ifit seems necessary, play the recording again for them to check before you elicit answers from the whole class. ‘ANSWERS The sociologist mentions b,«.€, fg. He thinks the most important factor is your life experiences Wo wnode yen yousnt So let's start by considering these descriptions of people: “Oh, John ~ he’s a family man’; ‘Sarah's an anthropologist ~ she's spent most of her life studying apes in Africa’ ‘Frank’s a keen coin collector — he's been collecting coins since he was a boy’; Jack is one of life's drifters — he will have been just about everywhere by the time he's 60'; “Anne's a committed animal rights campaigner - that ‘came as a shock to her friends because she had never even owned a pet before she joined the Animal Defence Leaguel’ We define each person by a different criterion: their interests; their profession; their outlook on life; or by their values ~ like the importance of family for John ~ and their beliefs. So which of these things is it that really defines a person? What if we asked the same question about a six-year-old child? Well, you'd actually say that what defined them first and foremost are the common factors that make them a child - being curious about the world, often playful, a bit vulnerable maybe. In ten years, that child will have become a teenager and teenagers, of course, share certain defining characteristics too. They tend to be quite self- centred and moody. Often they're angry at the world. And, because they're not sure of what their identity is, they define themselves by what they are not and by the things they dislike. ‘But Mum, I don’t want to go to technical college. Ihate maths.’ Now let’s look again at the adults we described at first John, our family man, has a job as a carpet salesman, which is OK. I? a job and it keeps him and his family comfortable. He had had an opportunity to run his ‘own business at one point, but he decided job security ‘was more important. His real passion is his family and spending time with his two boys. Sarah, the anthropologist, on the other hand, lives for her work. She's visited Central Africa many times to study Bonobo ‘apes and is fascinated by their social behaviour. Jack ~ ‘the drifter’ ~ has been doing bits and pieces of carpentry and building work. He loves travelling and experiencing different environments, so he picks up work as and ‘when he can. He fell in love when he was 25, but the relationship ended and he hasn’t committed to anyone else since. So, we can see that what defines each of these people in the end is their life experiences. It could be within their job or interests or relationships that these occurred, but {s the experiences themselves that shape each of us as, individuals. So when someone asks you, ‘What do you do’, they are 491.2) Ask students to read through the multiple choice options carefully.
